Rick Calkins<p>Daihatsu Charade Coupe, 1978. These days 3-cylinder engines are relatively common, but in the 70s they were extremely rare. The G10 Charade was one of the first cars to use a 4-stroke 3 cylinder water-cooled engine in mass production. The ‘coupe’ version had a cute port-hole in the c-pillar, it was also called the Charade Runabout on some markets. <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/weirdcarmastodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>weirdcarmastodon</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/daihatsu" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>daihatsu</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/coupe" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>coupe</span></a></p>
